Scandinavian Airlines launches the next generation airline seat
Beginning next year, passengers travelling with Scandinavian Airlines
International will be able to sleep tight during flights to the US and
Asia.
Scandinavian Airlines launches the next generation airline seats on
March 17-19, at the yearly travel exhibition in Scandinavia. The modern
design and functionality makes the airline seat comparable to - and
works like - a proper bed. The new seats will be installed in business
class in the beginning of 2006.
- According to our customer surveys, many of our passengers request
greater privacy accompanied with more comfort, says Lars Lindgren, Head
of Scandinavian Airlines International. The new seats are a way of
increasing the convenience for our passengers on board. The seats are
both appealing and comfortable according to the studies we have made,
and that is very satisfactory.
The new seat permits better comfort and a more private space than
traditional seats. The total space for every passenger will increase and
when the seat is folded out into sleeping position it will not interfere
with passengers in the row behind.
Besides the possibility for comfortable sleep in the seat, there are
many exclusive features. The viewing screen, which is fixed in the seat
in front, is extra large and includes a video with on
demand-functionalities. This means that the passengers themselves can
choose when to and how to use the entertainment supplied. Also, there is
a clever storage built-in the seats for lap-tops and maybe a bottle of
water.
Scandinavian Airlines International has developed the seats together
with Contour Premium Aircraft Seating, while Acumen has designed the
next generation airline seats.
